Mechanics

Range (neglecting air resistance)

Using physics we can calculate the range of a projectile. On flat ground we can use the equation , where d is the range (m), v is the initial velocity ( ),  is the angle of projection ( ), and g is the gravitational acceleration ( ). In this equation the /second/second units cancel out from the  and g and the /metres becomes metres which is the units that the range is calculated in.

If the ground is uneven , with range d, velocity v, angle of projection , gravitational acceleration g, and initial height .
